Civitai

Civitai is the largest open community for Stable Diffusion, SDXL, Flux, and video AI models — hosting over a million model checkpoints, LoRAs, embeddings, and VAEs uploaded and rated by creators. Beyond hosting, Civitai operates a hosted AI image, video, audio, and language generation service through its Orchestration API, which races workflows across providers (Flux 1/2, SDXL, SD1, Z-Image, Qwen, Seedream, Grok, WAN 2.1-2.7, Kling, LTX2, Vidu, Veo 3, HunyuanVideo) and supports LoRA training jobs. The Site API exposes the public catalog plus user vault, permissions, and AIR identifier resolution. OAuth 2.0 with PKCE and per-app Buzz spend caps lets third parties build delegated experiences without owning a user's full credit balance. Generation is metered in Buzz, a virtual credit topped up via memberships or one-off packs.

Civitai publishes 12 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Blobs API, Creators API, Enums API, and 9 more. Tagged areas include Artificial Intelligence, Image Generation, Video Generation, Stable Diffusion, and SDXL.

The Civitai catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

Civitai’s developer surface includes authentication, developer portal, documentation, getting-started guide, signup flow, support, engineering blog, and 46 more developer resources.

scored 2026-11-06 · rubric v0.27.0
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the AI & Biometrics regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):
  • Idempotency +9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
  • A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
  • Registration Without a Human +6 pts — a `registration_endpoint` in the served RFC 8414 / OIDC discovery document
  • Delegated User Identity +6 pts — a served discovery document listing authorization_code in grant_types_supported (served), else an oauth2 authorizationCode flow or openIdConnect declared in an OpenAPI (documented)
  • Documented Reversibility +6 pts — a reversal operation in the contract, graded up when a window is documented too
  • Agent Skills +5 pts — skills artifact present, graded by who authored it

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it.

Markets this provider is in provisional

The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.

Standards implemented 2

Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.
